Josh, my post had nothing to do with wheel size in relation to who did well in the race.  Simply that it was interesting to see such a variety of bikes in use, and in particular that the 650B wheel size was used in a such a race.  As far as I know, 2012 is the first year that this wheel size has been used in World Cup / Olympics.  I find that to be a good thing, and I'm looking forward to seeing more 650B models on the market, esp. XC hardtails.   And that's all.....

Scott will be your bike company, they are the only ones making true XC hardtails next year in 650B, in fact scotts only 26inch bike next year will be DH bikes and Dirt jumpers.

650b is mostly going to be used in the 140mm-160mm travel range. Basically trying to get a bigger wheels on a bigger travel bike.
